Leo has particular expertise in matters of financial and professional regulation, having done an extended secondment at the Financial Conduct Authority, and sits on the Bar Standards Board panel of prosecuting counsel. Leo spent several years contributing to the Sheldon Review on Historical Allegations of Sexual Abuse in Football, which gave him particular insight into child protection and safeguarding issues which often arise in employment and education contexts. He hosts the 11KBW Panopticon Podcast, which discusses emerging topics in media and information law, and is an editor of the 11KBW Panopticon Blog.
